"It is difficult to answer the concession question. The latest story we are hearing is that we will be reduced to 3 but will have first dibs on regaining our concessions when suspension is over. We will fight to protect our investments but if we are reduced to 3 we can retain FDN and our most promising targets in the pull-apart basin ans on-strike with FDN. We will also have plenty of room for surface infrastructure for the mine.

So far we have not received any notification from the government regarding concessions (or anything to do with the Mandate for that matter)."
